Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HJB647 following single dose administration in Japanese healthy participants with elevated blood pressure and multiple dose administration with up titration in Japanese patients with hypertension, to support future clinical development of HJB647

Detailed description

Randomized, placebo-controlled, participant- and investigator-blind study consisting of two parts: * Part 1 (SAD part): Single oral dose in healthy participants. Sentinel dosing will be applied in each cohort. * Part 2 (MAD part): Multiple oral doses in patients with hypertension. Safety reviews will guide dose escalation and up-titration.
